Consider This

If the population of the Earth were reduced to that of a small town with 100 people, it would look something like this...

57% Asians
21% Europeans
14% Americans (northern and southern)
8% Africans
52% women
48% men
70% coloured-skins
30% caucasians
89% heterosexuals
11% homosexuals

6 people would own 59% of the whole world wealth and all of them will be from the United States of America
80% would have bad living conditions
70% would be uneducated 50% underfed
1 would die 2 would be born
1 would have a computer
1 would have a higher education

When you look at the world from this point of view, you can see there is a real need for solidarity, understanding, patience and education.
